Before the Geneva Motor Show press conference on Tuesday, Lamborghini let us in on a private Bologna-area photography studio so that we could get our own sex-machine shots of their raging new V12 firestarter, the 691-horsepower Aventador LP700-4.
First off, we're glad they didn't call it 'Jota' as some were peas-and-carroting about because it's just a silly and unpronounceable name. It probably belonged to some wimpy minor league bull, too. Only one true Jota was ever built in 1970, and it was a just an amped-up and flared Miura (we prefer not to think about the mid-90s Diablo anniversary upgrade kits).
"Aventador" was, according to the best detective work we can muster, a bull whose career peaked in 1993 in the town of Saragozza, Spain, when he and the torero had a particularly spirited encounter prior to ol' Aventador's inevitable skewering. This particular beastie belonged to the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides and, for unknown reasons surely banal, he bore the number 32 singed on his hide. And now he gets the strongest Lamborghini ever built named after him. And about damned time! The British were getting tired of mispronouncing "Murcičlago" over the past ten years and now they have a new proper name to mutilate.
This name-guessing game is one of the best things Lamborghini has going for its mystique value. Another thing that comes close is what the new colors of the car's paint palette will be labeled. The model we've shot here is the actual Geneva showstand Aventador, and its all-new scene-stealing hue is Arancio Argos – Argos Orange – named after the deep-colored oranges grown around the ancient southern Greek town of Argos, a chief rival of the mighty killing machines over in Sparta.
